I do builds to / since NetBSD 1.0 i think. I hosed my system about
two or three times in this time (must be 5 or 6 years now). And by
hosed i mean that NetBSD hicked. Nothing that couldn't be cured.
But you should know what you do and you should follow source-changes.
And you should develop a sense for certain commits that should
postpone yout next update for some days. And you should be able to fix
those problems.
At least i wouldn't recommend to do daily unattended -current builds.
